FAQ
What is this?
Hi, I'm Taira. This is my server.
Way back in 2012, I got Minecraft, and as funny as it may seem, this turned out to be a life changing decision for me. You see, a lot of my friends already played the game, so naturally, we wanted to play together. This lead me very quickly down the path of systems administration, and later software development. The result was that I wound up developing a very serious set of skills, for a rather non-serious purpose. But regardless of the seriousness of the purpose, it was that decision that landed me jobs working on computers professionally. It is not an exaggeration to say that Minecraft is the reason I have my job. Strange how the world works, huh?
Regardless, this website you find yourself on is apart of that server, among many others. Some of it for fun, some of it for professional development, and some of it entirely out of curiosity. This server represents more than a decade of my journeys through computer science; the result of the repeated striking of the hammer of knowledge...
...and I did it all because of a freaking video game. Humans sure are funny, aren't they?
What is the background image on this website?
They are prominent locations on the aforementioned Minecraft server. This server has run for more than a decade, and plenty of time and creativity has been dumped into it. If you refresh the page, it will give you a new image at random.
Can I join the Minecraft Server?
Only with my permission, or the permission of another member of the server. If you don't know how to get that, then you probably shouldn't be asking. :^)
